The Daily Show won't be calling you, Dana -- ever. So put the toy video camera away and go back to writing your incomprehensible drivel where you can artfully suggest that Hillary is a "mad bitch."
Maybe his bitterness, misogyny and lack of humor comes from growing up as a boy named "Dana". It all goes back to the schoolyard with a lot of these Beltway types.
Beltway journalists are the only ones amused or invested in "Hillary is a Bitch!" anymore.
Republicans have the birth certificate to stoke their nuts. Comedians and DailyKos have Sarah Palin providing fresh material weekly. Everyone else is "Yawn, 1994 wants its jokes back."
How long was that? I stared slack-jawed for a seeming eternity. After taking like 12,000 shots at it, you'd think they'd score at least one chuckle-worthy line.
By the way, the great "deleted scene" from this post: the Huffington Post's breathless filing on the matter invoked their lame, righteous indignation about it not being funny because they're opposed to Milbank after the CNN rap battle he had with Nico Pitney. Their lede?
"As many of you know, the Washington Post's Dana Milbank used to do respectable journalism, back when I was six years old or something."
@Foster Kamer: well true but there's nothing more satisfying than a good Dana Milbank takedown, and his whole approach has been bankrupt for so long -- e.g., http://is.gd/1XVws -- this video is a revealing chapter in the story of the death of old media.
As a colmnist working for one of the most notable and respected newspapers in the country he basically called Hillary Clinton a bitch on behalf of the paper and no matter how we all think that about her, lol, its just wrong and cannot in any way be justified. I can understand his lack of respect for normal bloggers because i feel the same way but he stooped to their level i nthis video and that is unacceptable.
I guess Mr. Carr is not an AA member because of the strong recommendation that members not identify themselves at the level of press, radio or film. Or maybe Daily Beast doesn't rise to that level.

Like... beers that have a lot of hop flavor? Is "dry" an overwrought term for describing wine?
But yes, Milbank is a dick.
